Jetty Web Server Directory Traversal Vulnerability
The Jetty Web Server is prone to a directory-traversal vulnerability because it fails to sufficiently sanitize user-supplied input. Exploiting this issue will allow an attacker to view arbitrary files within the context of the webserver. Information harvested may aid in launching further attacks.
Mitigation:
To mitigate this vulnerability, it is recommended to sanitize and validate user-supplied input before using it in file system operations. Additionally, access controls should be implemented to restrict unauthorized access to sensitive files.
